Keppel, KIT propose 10-year extension on capacity trolling agreement for KMC Plant

The parties plan to extend the agreement until 2040.

The Infrastructure Division of Keppel (Keppel) and Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) have proposed to amend and extend the Capacity Tolling Agreement (CTA) for the Keppel Merlimau Cogen (KMC) Plant by 10 years to generate up to $1.1b in long term capacity payments for the combined cycle gas turbine power plant.

“This will provide a stable base of contracted cash flows to underpin a refinancing of KMC’s existing loan facility, which will unlock value for both shareholders with the resumption of the asset’s contributions to Keppel and KIT,” the parties said in a bourse filing.

KIT owns 51% of KMC, whilst Keppel has a 49% stake in the plant.

The parties are also proposing to amend and extend the operations and maintenance (O&M) contract between KMC and Keppel’s Infrastructure Division by another 10 years to 2044, which is worth up to about $342.84m.

“The extension of the CTA and the O&M contract would strategically position Keppel as one of the major power generators in the Singapore electricity market and would further augment its market position as a leading Singapore energy player,” the parties added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
